Yes, I'm an Apple Fanboy. I admit it...
This whole iPhone 3G thing is starting to make me a little crazy..
Yes I owned the first gen iPhone.. Yes, I bought a white iPhone 3G on 7/12...
About a week ago, I dropped my new Jawbone for the last (of many) time and it stopped working. This forced me to use my iPhone headphones. About 2 days of use later, I noticed that I was victim of "iCrack". A hairline crack appeared between the headphone port and the silver bezel. Not a big deal in terms of functionality but coupled all the posts I saw about cracking, I thought I would hit up my local Apple Store Genius for a replacement.. By the way it was produced at factory 878 on week 28..
No problems with the replacement (other than I had to pay for a new Invisashield). Or so I thought...
NOW, my replacement iPhone (factory 868 week 31) while sitting on my desk decides that it should switch from 3G to Edge every now and then. Keep in mind that A: my first 3G iPhone never did this, B: the phone is not in motion, C: weather conditions are sunny with light 0-5mph wind outside and D: I have 5 bars on 3G.
Since I'm seeing more and more posts about this issue, I'm starting to get a little ticked and missing the days of my old iPhone that worked just fine (although much slower than 3G speeds).
As of right now if someone asked me if they should replace their original iPhone with a new one I would say NO. Wait for another 2 months and then make the jump...
As for me, I'm going to wait a couple of months and then try my luck at getting a replacement hoping that they figure these issues out.
This whole experience is draining me and my commitment to Uncle Steve.
